Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Carefully read the manufacturer's instructions for recommended distance between speakers. Speakers placed too close together can cause a host of issues, such as interference. Space them as wide apart as you can and still maintain desired audio penetration.

Step2

Periodically use an anti-static cloth or similar wipe to clear debris and dust from the surface of the speaker, including any open enclosures. Do not use any liquids during cleaning.

Step3

Powered speaker systems are subject to electrical surges. Protect your system by plugging the AC power source into a surge protector. Unplug the system when not using it for an extended period of time.

Step4

If you notice any significant change in sound output from your speaker system, immediately unplug it and bring it in for repair. Ultimately, your own sense of sound is the greatest deterrent against speaker damage.
